The conditions were there to ensure Greece would actually reform, rather than keep lying about data and overspending each year to an extremely unsustainable degree. Greece caused the mess 100℅ itself, then turned around and asked for money. Terms were agreed, billions given, and then Greece turned around and broke the agreement. After three times breaking agreed bailout terms for which the country each time got billions, they wanted another bailout without any conditions while the new government varoufakis was in was actively reinstating some of the already improved insanity ((re)hiring thousands of officials for example).
